Escape to 692 Sunrise Ridge Road in Cotopaxi, where this 4,000+ sq ft custom ranch home combines energy efficiency with sweeping mountain views on 35 private acres. Step inside the one-foot thick exterior walls to the heart of the home: a beautifully appointed kitchen with cork-tile flooring, expansive countertops, and knotty alder cabinetry framing the bay window views. The main floor offers radiant in-floor heating and seamless flow from the mudroom entry off the 3-car garage to a versatile dining area that can double as an office. Centrally, the living room features a Santa Fe style kiva gas fireplace and plentiful picture windows, inviting the Sangre de Cristo Mountains & Collegiate Peaks inside. Open the sliding doors to an expansive deck with awe-inspiring vistas. The main bedroom is a retreat with a spa-like 5-piece marble-tiled bath, soaking tub, and roomy walk-in closet, with another bedroom and full bath nearby. Downstairs, the finished walkout basement provides a family room, additional bedrooms & bathrooms, an office with built-ins, and endless potential for a gym, art studio, or guest suite-with direct outdoor access. Outside, equestrian and homestead amenities abound: a 30x40 machine shop, hay barn, paddock with 2-stall loafing shed, and automatic waterer, plus a large chicken coop, multiple sheds, and garden spots. Ideal for those eager to swap the city hustle for nature's serenity, this property appeals to horse enthusiasts and outdoor lovers with proximity to thousands of BLM acres for camping, hiking and horseback adventures. The Arkansas River-just 15 minutes away-offers world-class fishing and rafting. Nestled in the quiet Eagle Peak Ranch subdivision, it is only 20 minutes from Westcliffe and 40 from Salida's vibrant arts and culture. With skiing at Monarch Mountain & hot springs at Mt. Princeton close by, every season brings adventure and relaxation. *Photos with furniture are virtually staged.
